Description
Dark nebulae, optical image. The large dark area comprises the dark nebulae LDN 1801 and LDN 0048. These nebulae are only visible as the dense dust and gas they contain blocks the light from the rich starfields behind them. Dense nebulae such as this may condense to form stars. This region lies in the constellation Sagittarius.
